Scissor Sisters
Scissor Sisters
Scissor Sisters are an American pop group formed in 2001. Forged in the “gay nightlife scene of New York,” the band took its name from the female same-sex sexual activity tribadism. Its members include Jake Shears and Ana Matronic as vocalists, Babydaddy as a multi-instrumentalist, Del Marquis as the lead guitarist/bassist, and Randy Real as the drummer. Scissor Sisters incorporate diverse and innovative styles in their music, but tend to sway towards pop rock, glam rock, nu-disco, and electroclash.
Scissor Sisters have performed around the world and become well-recognized for their controversial and transgressive live performances. They’ve collaborated with a number of other well-known pop musicians, including Elton John and Kylie Minogue. In 2004, U2’s lead vocalist Bono described Scissor Sisters as “the best pop group in the world”.
